Heisman Trophy

The Heisman Trophy is the pre-eminent individual college football award, given each year to the nation's most outstanding player as voted on by a panel of media, former winners, and members of the Downtown Athletic Club in New York City. Technically, the award is open to any player at any school in any division; in practice, the winner has always been from a major college program.

The 2005 Heisman was won by Reggie Bush, running back, Southern California. However, it was later determined that Bush was ineligible under NCAA regulations, and as a result he was stripped of the award.
